Mortdecai Review

Mortdecai Review

RYAN: Although it’s opening in January, I had high hopes for this movie; love the cast and was all kinds of ready to be disappointed, but happily, I’m not – this movie is super!  It’s a delightfully fresh, funny film I could easily see myself watching again and again.  I’m even hoping for a sequel, ..

Inherent Vice Review

Inherent Vice Review

RYAN: I was really looking forward to this movie because it’s from director Paul Thomas Anderson, who did There Will be Blood, Boogie Nights, The Master, among others and he’s really good; but this movie is not. CAROLINE: And it’s getting some buzz though, right?  Isn’t it nominated for some Critics’ Choice Movie Awards and a Golden ..

The Interview Review

The Interview Review

RYAN: It’s unprecedented what happened with this movie – almost taking down a movie studio and threatening national security – all completely unintentionally of course.  But still it’s something that made history in a crazy way. CAROLINE: It’s very interesting to look at what happened, what it’s about, how North Korea reacted and it’s really ..

Top Five Review

Top Five Review

RYAN: This is a new comedy starring Chris Rock in which he also wrote and directed and you can tell because he got everyone he knows in Hollywood to make an appearance.  There are so many cameos in this movies I couldn’t even keep track. CAROLINE: Well when you can, you do, I suppose. How ..

Horrible Bosses 2 Review

Horrible Bosses 2 Review

RYAN: It’s the sequel to Horrible Bosses, which we saw together and I was basically just hoping this wouldn’t follow the footsteps of The Hangover movies, which just kept repeating the same plot in sequels.  Thankfully, that’s not the case, this film features a new story which was very refreshing. CAROLINE: That is a relief. ..

Dumb and Dumber To Review

Dumb and Dumber To Review

RYAN: After ten years, I don’t think anyone was really hankering for a sequel to Dumb and Dumber; alas, here it is.  And I wish it should go back to where it came from. CAROLINE: That bad, huh?  I can’t say I’m surprised. RYAN: It’s not like it’s refreshing being with these idiots again.  I ..

St. Vincent Review

St. Vincent Review

RYAN: This is the new dramedy starring Bill Murray, Melissa McCarthy and Naomi Watts and a young Jaeden Lieberher who is such a little scene stealer!   I think he has a great career to look forward to. ERIK: I was worried because a lot of the film rests on his shoulders and it all ..

This Is Where I Leave You Review

This Is Where I Leave You Review

RYAN: This is a new dramedy with a killer ensemble cast and they’re all so good in it, with great moments.  Some of them you want more of because they have smaller parts.  It’s primarily Jason Bateman’s movie and he’s as good as he ever is. He shows some grey range.  Tina Fey is great ..

Land Ho! Review

Land Ho! Review

RYAN: I’d like to welcome Erik Grobben to the site – we met at a recent Harry Potter party (he was working the Professor Lupin look, and I, HP) and we basically talked about movies for two hours and agreed on them so I had to have you review some with me!  You had seen the trailer ..

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Review

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Review

RYAN: I’ve never been a fan of the TMNT and didn’t see the franchise of the 90s so I had little expectations for this reboot.  They are pop culturally relevant.  I was just praying it would be better than Transformers since it was produced by Michael Bay.  And glady, it is. MICHAEL: It’ better at least ..

Magic In The Moonlight Review

Magic In The Moonlight Review

RYAN: It’s the latest annual offering from writer/director Woody Allen, who, LBH, let’s be honest, is just one of the most prolific and indelible forces in Hollywood.  His resume is just insane, right? CAROLINE: Yeah he’s pretty much the bomb.  Though his movies are always hit or miss, they’ve been largely brilliant over the last ..

Guardians of the Galaxy Review

Guardians of the Galaxy Review

RYAN: I’m thrilled to welcome Michael Zummo to join me in this review.  Not only a friend, but a very talented author of the science fiction series D’Mok Revival.  Because of that, I’m looking forward to your perspective on this movie.  I wasn’t familiar with the Guardians comics or these characters.  This is more obscure so I ..
